There is a site here designed to propagandize schoolchildren about the wonderful inventions and discoveries Muslims have made: Things like motor cars, aeroplanes, light bulbs, telephones, televisions etc (Whoops! I think I got that wrong). The inventions are described in 7 convenient categories: "home, school, market, hospital, town, world and universe". But if you click on any one of those categories, you get at the time I am writing this the response: "File not found". I believe them!
If you REALLY want to find out about the Muslim contribution to science etc., see this classic article.
Wrong to Mention Bible Teachings
A teacher who mentioned Bible teachings about homosexuality as part of a broadcast at Miami Sunset Senior High has come under fire:
"On the first day, a few students talked about supporting gay rights, and no one paid much attention. On the second day, a school counselor talked about respecting each other, and no one paid much attention. On the third day, a few students spoke against homosexuality and a teacher said it is ''wrong according to the Bible'' -- and people noticed very much".

No free exchange of ideas in Florida public schools apparently. School administrators are searching frantically to find some "rule" that was broken so they can penalize the Christians. You can praise homosexuality to the skies with impunity but don't you DARE mention any reservations about it. It seems that homosexuality has become the established church in much of America's educational system.
A Welcome Backdown
We read:
"The University of Wisconsin announced a plan Wednesday that would allow resident assistants to hold Bible study meetings in their dormitory rooms. The plan was immediately praised by critics of the old policies in place on some Wisconsin campuses, which barred such meetings as an infringement on the separation of church and state, since the R.A.'s are state employees.... The issue gained prominence in the fall, when an R.A. at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire complained that he was barred from organizing religious meetings in his dormitory room".

"R.A.s" are apparently senior students who are given some authority over the dormitory they live in and are paid something in return. The Leftists argued that as State employees they could not support any religion. There may be something in that argument except that the RA concerned was holding Bible studies in his own time in his own room. Apparently, to Leftists, Christians are not entitled to any private life.
